Words alone are not enough describe this extraordinary cuff so please take a look at the pictures to get a feel for this magnificent valuable masterpiece of Native American Indian craftsmanship. Fred Harvey Style (1900 1955). You will often see the term Fred Harvey era in many jewelry descriptions. There are estimated to be three distinct periods in the Fred Harvey era of dating jewelry and other Native American art objects. Others may have their own breakdown of these time periods. Early Fred Harvey era: Late 1800s 1910s [rare]. Mid Fred Harvey era: 1910s 1930s. Late Fred Harvey era: 1940s 1970s. Even so, it continued to be produced until the mid-1940s or 1950s. The Bell Trading Co. Continued on until the 1970s. Fred Harvey [1835 1901] was a prominent 19th century Native American curios entrepreneur, business man, hotel and restauranteur who fairly singlehandedly established the emerging 20th century American tourist fascination with traveling to the great American southwest and exploring the culture of Native Americans and their legacy of Native arts, jewelry and crafts. Instead of referring to the tourist jewelry from the era as Fred Harvey jewelry, it has been suggested that railroad jewelry would have been more appropriate as Harvey entered into an ingenious contract with the Santa Fe Railroad to provide a series of luxurious new eating houses along the new rail routes which were quickly crisscrossing the American southwest. Once Indian jewelers and traders realized the Anglo preference, they began catering to the Anglo tourist’s tastes by producing a full line of lightweight jewelry, much of it mass-produced with the help of specialized machinery and commercial sheet silver. There were also numerous silversmiths who insisted on making everything by hand: pounding, cutting, stamping etc. In addition to the consideration of weight, various design elements or symbols were decided upon as standard designs that would decorate most products – the Thunderbird, the arrows (crossed arrows or single arrows), the four-directions symbol, lightning zigzags, arrowheads, etc. It was perceived that these were the symbols that most tourists had in mind as belonging to the Indian realm, and consequently, many Indian jewelers would keep to the use of these symbols instead of adding their own personal touch or incorporating other aesthetics. Today, Fred Harvey era jewelry is Highly Collectible and highly sought after. Easy to wear, and generally with a fair amount of ornamentation/stamping, Fred Harvey jewelry is an enjoyable genre of Indian jewelry that takes us back 100 years and can leave us in awe! This marvelous bracelet is spectacular! It is even more impressive in person than the pictures show! There is some band flexibility for size adjustment. An exact date is not available for when the stamp STERLING was first used on Native American jewelry. Items made in the 1930s would usually not have that stamp nor any other hallmark. A few items made in the 1940s to 1950s might have the STERLING stamp, most notably, those made by Bell Traders during that time period. Pieces made in the 1950s and 1960s and later often have the STERLING indication. Cerrillos is not only an uncommon and unique form of native New Mexican turquoise, but has a history entwined with both ancient Native peoples of the Southwest and more recent American mining companies. Cerrillos turquoise was created and mined under unusual circumstances. It is the only turquoise that formed at the base of a volcano. Thus, a variety of colors developed from the minerals in the various volcanic host stones. In fact, the Cerrillos New Mexico Turquoise mines produce seventy-five colors, from tan to khaki-green to rich, blue-green to bright and light colors. Located ten miles south of Santa Fe, it was the site of the largest prehistoric mining activity on the continent because the huge turquoise deposit was partially exposed at the surface. Miners from the San Marcos Pueblo, who later moved to Santo Domingo Pueblo south of Santa Fe, most heavily worked the mine. Using only stone axes, mauls, antler picks, and chisels, Pueblo miners removed 100,000 tons of solid rock to create a pit mine 200 feet deep. They dug other vertical shafts into the ground to reach veins of turquoise. Miners carried tools and leather rock buckets on their backs as they climbed in and out of the shafts using notched logs as ladders. The turquoise obtained from this hard work traded among early peoples from Mexico to the Midwest and from the east to west coasts. In New Mexico, many pieces of Cerrillos turquoise for personal and trade use have been unearthed in the prehistoric ruins of Pueblo Bonito in Chaco Canyon. The Pueblo peoples continued to extract turquoise from the Cerrillos mine until the 1870’s when a silver mining boom raised interest in the area. This bracelet is filled with elegance and it gives off a timeless look and feel. It is sure to be a great addition to any collection! Words alone are not enough describe this extraordinary bracelet so please take a look at the pictures to get a feel for this magnificent valuable masterpiece of Native American Indian craftsmanship.

RARE NAVAJO VINTAGE PEYOTE BIRD SQUASH BLOSSOM NECKLACE HAND SIGNED J. NELSON (JOHN) TURQUOISE CHIP INLAY. 31 long from hook-and-eye clasp to bottom of centered peyote bird. The center peyote bird is 3 tall x 2 wide at the widest point. The other 10 peyote birds are 2 tall x 1.25 at the widest point. PLEASE NOTE: The photographs give the illusion the jewelry looks larger than it is; this is to show you the detail you could not see without a magnifying glass. Please look at ALL photographs postedthere is always one or two photos with ruler measurements in every listing created to give you an accurate. Also, the photographs posted are shot from the actual item no stock photos. The colors may vary just slightly due to light vs. Shadow effect of the flash. The items weighed on the scale are in grams. This is a magnificent timeless piece of Native American Indian Art from a truly talented master of his craft-John Nelson! His pieces will grace museums, if they havent already, due to his remarkable respect among his peers and the top-notch quality of his work! Appraised by Gilbert Ortega Jr. Listed here is a gorgeous peyote bird or water bird necklace created in the squash blossom style most likely in the late 70s. This hand constructed necklace features eleven large and colorful peyote birds. Each of the birds hold an absolute stunning oval polished turquoise stone with wonderful blues, terrific spider webbing with glistening pyrite and black smoke spots. The largest peyote bird in the center features a bezel set natural blue turquoise stone surrounded by a twisted rope design atop heart shape motif with crescent moon stampings yielding to the birds neck, beak and outer border. Inside the surrounding border is an amazing display of the chip inlay technique using a variety of green and blue turquoise and blood red coral. Lets stop here and read the following while eyeing the photos. Take an extra look at the outstanding colors of the turquoise chip inlay-all different hues of blues, greens, browns and creams are exploding atop the solid black background-this is the epitome of the chip inlay technique-and its as smooth as a babys butt! It looks so darn mosaic too! I wish I could have a swimming pool made of this inlayo. All the other peyote birds follow this design with the exception of the middle peyote bird who has a larger heart-shape motif. It looks like the other birds have a smaller heart shape, but is covered by the bezel set turquoisehmmmmmdid Mr. Nelson decided to add the turquoise adornments to the smaller birds later??? Uniting all this incredible beauty together is the handmade. Beads double strung under the heavy peyote birds yielding to a single strand ending with a hook-and-eye closure. As I mentioned in the condition part of this listing, 3 of the bench beads are dented, please check photos. There is so much culture and tradition, pride and spirit in this piece, but best of all, the artist signed by hand J. NELSON on the bottom of the peyote bird in the center. Later, he would stamp his pieces which read J. Even though this necklace is not marked. 925 or sterling silver, it has been tested positive. With no marks or cosmetic damage. This is big, bold and beautiful necklace with substantial heavy weight at 210 grams. If you like the polish look, your local favorite jeweler can do a heck of a better job than I could anyway!
